Hello,
I apologize for any confusion you are experiencing with the Instant Indexing feature in Rank Math. The functionality update you mentioned is correct. Previously, there was a process to generate an API key for instant indexing. However, now in the Rank Math UI, you will find a simplified option where you can directly enter the URL you want to index.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with the new Instant Indexing process, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for reaching out with your query.

Hello,
Thank you for the explanation in the video.
The knowledge base article https://rankmath.com/blog/google-indexing-api/ referred to in your video refers to Google’s new indexing API which works only for Google. You can set this up using a separate plugin called the Instant Indexing for Google plugin
However, the settings shown in the video refer to Rank Math’s Instant Indexing feature which allows you to submit your URLs to IndexNow-enabled search engines such as Bing and Yandex.
For this, Rank Math automatically generates the API for the IndexNow Protocol. You can check more information about Rank Math’s Instant Indexing feature here: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-indexnow/
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
So If I got it correct then your Instant indexing where we just submit the URL for Bing and Yandex and if we wish to do the same for Google we need to use a separate plugin and generate google API.
Let me know if I got it correct.
Hello,
Yes, that is right.
You may need to install and configure the Google Instant Indexing API by following the article we have shared above.
Looking forward to helping you.
